Atoms:
The Building
Blocks of Matter
Law of Conservation of Mass
Mass is neither
created nor destroyed
during chemical or
physical reactions.
Total mass of reactants
=
Total mass of products
Antoine Lavoisier
Dalton’s Atomic Theory (1808)
 All matter is composed of extremely
small particles called atoms
 Atoms of a given element are
identical in size, mass, and other
properties; atoms of different
John Dalton
elements differ in size, mass, and
other properties
 Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed
 Atoms of different elements combine in simple
whole-number ratios to form chemical compounds
 In chemical reactions, atoms are combined,
separated, or rearranged
Modern Atomic Theory
Several changes have been made to Dalton’s theory.
Dalton said:
Atoms of a given element are identical in
size, mass, and other properties; atoms of
different elements differ in size, mass, and
other properties
Modern theory states:
Atoms of an element have a characteristic
average mass which is unique to that
element.
Isotopes
Elements occur in
nature as mixtures
of isotopes.
Isotopes are atoms of
the same element that
differ in the number
of neutrons
Atomic Masses
Atomic mass is the average of all the naturally
isotopes of that element.

Modern Atomic Theory #2
Dalton said:
Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed
Modern theory states:
Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed
in ordinary chemical reactions. However, these
changes CAN occur in nuclear reactions!
Discovery of the Electron
In 1897, J.J. Thomson used a cathode ray tube
to deduce the presence of a negatively charged
particle.
Cathode ray tubes pass electricity through a gas
that is contained at a very low pressure.
Some Modern
Cathode Ray Tubes
Thomson’s Atomic Model
Thomson believed that the electrons were like plums
embedded in a positively charged “pudding,” thus it was
called the “plum pudding” model.
Mass of the Electron
1909 – Robert Millikan
determines the mass of
the electron.
The oil drop apparatus
Mass of the
electron is
9.109 x 10-31 kg
Conclusions from the Study of
the Electron
 Cathode rays have identical properties regardless
of the element used to produce them. All elements
must contain identically charged electrons.
Atoms are neutral, so there must be positive
particles in the atom to balance the negative
charge of the electrons
 Electrons have so little mass that atoms must
contain other particles that account for most of
the mass
Rutherford’s Gold Foil Experiment
 Alpha particles are helium nuclei
 Particles were fired at a thin sheet of gold foil
 Particle hits on the detecting screen (film) are
recorded
Try it Yourself!
In the following pictures, there is a target hidden by
a cloud. To figure out the shape of the target, we
shot some beams into the cloud and recorded where
the beams came out. Can you figure out the shape of
the target?
The Answers
Target #1
Target #2
Rutherford’s Findings
 Most of the particles passed right through
 A few particles were deflected
 VERY FEW were greatly deflected
“Like howitzer shells bouncing off
of tissue paper!”
Conclusions:
 The nucleus is small
 The nucleus is dense
 The nucleus is positively charged

The Atomic
Scale
 Most of the mass of the
atom is in the nucleus
(protons and neutrons)
 Electrons are found
outside of the nucleus (the
electron cloud)
 Most of the volume of
the atom is empty space
“q” is a particle called a “quark”
The Quark…
Oops…wrong Quark!
About Quarks…
Protons and neutrons are
NOT fundamental particles.
Protons are made of
two “up” quarks and
one “down” quark.
Neutrons are made of
one “up” quark and
two “down” quarks.
Quarks are held together
by “gluons”
Atomic Number
Atomic number (Z) of an element is the
number of protons in the nucleus of each atom
of that element.

Isotopes…Again
(must be on the test)
Isotopes are atoms of the same element having
different masses due to varying numbers of neutrons.

The Mole
1 dozen = 12
1 gross = 144
1 ream = 500
1 mole = 6.02 x 1023
There are exactly 12 grams of
carbon-12 in one mole of carbon-12.
Avogadro’s Number
6.02 x 1023 is called “Avogadro’s Number” in
honor of the Italian chemist Amadeo Avogadro
(1776-1855).
I didn’t discover it. Its
just named after me!
